Offender: piggywiggy1337 (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 8:20pm
Length: Permanent
Reason: Mic Spam, Griefing, Player harassment
More Info: Player has been going around the map mic spamming other players. Player was playing with True burden who was banned for this same behavior and piggywiggy continued to do so after watching True get banned. Player also placed a code lock on another persons base while they were building it to lock them out.

Mic or chat spam, player disrespect, racism or harassment is not allowed nor is raiding, griefing or stealing. As the player persisted during and after his mates ban, a ban was implemented.

Offender: True burden (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 8:10pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Mic spam, Theft
More Info:

Player has been repeatedly going around the map (on foot or in a car) screaming obscenities at players and was also caught stealing. He has been spoken to on a number of occasions about his behavior but again tonight, when approached to be told again not to do it, he sped off in his car screaming obscenities.

Mic or chat spam, player disrespect, racism or harassment is not allowed on EZ servers. For repeated violations of this rule the player has been banned.

Offender: 1989 R32 Vspec II (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 7:40 pm AEST
Length: 3 days
Reason: Stealing a car / trying to run the owner over / general harassment and bad behaviour
More Info: Admin was called as 2 players (Vspec and his mate) were stealing the players car. Was trying to run the owner of the car over and generally being toxic in chat. TP'd out of car and they jumped straight back in and started again. Kicked player - logged back in and was generally rude in voice chat to players and admins - laughed when told to read the rules. Generally not wanting to play by the rules and respect the players or community.

Given a 3-day ban at this stage (1st infraction).

Note: This players mate stayed back and did not talk during the admin interactions so was not issued a ban at this time.

Offender: aot282399 (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 10pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Stealing
More Info: 

Player took items from another player who was recycling and crafting and items fell out of his inventory. Player didn't return anything until I was almost online even after repeated requests by the player and me posting the no stealing rule in chat while I was logging in. Explained the rules and how to read them and reinforced that stealing can result in a server ban.

After resolving this issue, player did some stuff in their base and then ran straight to an unsecured base and stole from a person logged off in it.

For disregarding the rules after they were explained to him a permanent ban was implemented.

Offender: jxez (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 11:23pm AEST
Length: 3 days
Reason: Theft & making up stories to admin
More Info: Player went into another players base and accused them of stealing from them. Player had HQ car parts and said they were from an airdrop which is impossible - this was a personal drop and they do not give HQ parts. Player constantly lied to admin on what happened and all reasons, while not able to be completely confirmed either way - all explanations did not add up with known server behavior. 

He told another admin:

1. he didn't go into known players base (spoke to player and confirmed this was incorrect)
2. That he got the high quality car parts from a supply drop
3. that he got them from a purple smoke supply drop that he didn't throw

He was given ample opportunity to come clean, we heard the story from his side of things as he wanted. We said after an hour, there is no way you would have all these high quality car parts. We explained that the car parts (crankshaft, etc) do not appear in supply drops ever, that the only way he would've had them legitimately is by researching them on a Tier 3 Workbench and crafting them. He was still adamant that he got them out of someone else's personal supply drop. Clearly a lie. Thus, he was 3 day banned.

Offender: Thwack (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 8:30pm AEST
Length: 3 days
Reason: Theft
More Info : Player reported a lot of items stolen from chests. Only 1 name is on the chests - Thwack. Player confirms items were there prior to the logs showing Thwack accessing the chests multiple times in a 15min period.

Thwack did not have items on them and refuted that he stole - but due to the evidence a 3-day ban is being implemented.

Offender: The Rat Hunter #Clapped (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 5:40pm AEST
Length: Perm
Reason: Stealing / Raiding
More Info: Player logged in and was witnessed running up to a players car - jumping in and trying to race off with it. Was TP'd back and told there is no stealing on the server and how to access the server rules. Player then started suiciding to move around the map away from where he was and was then found to have run straight inside a players base and was seen trying to access boxes of loot inside.

As player had no intention of following the rules a perma ban was implemented.

Offender: squirm (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 5:15pm AEST
Length: Perm
Reason: Stealing, ignoring admins, entering player base immediately after being kicked for theft
More Info: Player logged in and immediately went to a player base and started looting everything they could. Admin appeared and told them not to and they ignored the admin and just ran around in circles. I kicked the player for theft and moved them to a Sleeper Pod. Player logged back in had the rules again read to him by myself - which he acknowledged with a laugh and ran off. Player was then seen jumping into a base through an open window.

For not having any intention at all of following the rules the player was issued a permanent ban.

Offender: Happy Seal (Battlemetrics) (Steam) / Father Jackson/THICC_DICK_DADDY27 (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 9:35pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Racism / Racism & Sexism
More Info: Players came onto the server and immediately started to build to get onto someones base. Was approached by a female admin and immediately started lewdish remarks and was told to stop. Proceeded and approached the one doing so (Father Jackson) and he ran off in Dome and fell down and died. Logged off and logged back in with a new nick pretending to be a new person. When approached by another admin started the lewd comments again and going on about Happy Seal being his slave and used the n word - was told not to and did it again. Was then banned by myself. His mate then ran off and when speaking to another admin used the n word that just got his mate banned.

3 admins witnessed all interactions.

Offender: Lixer (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 6:50pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Griefing / Theft 
More Info: Player came onto AU Pure in January and raided, griefed and destroyed another players base before logging off. Admitted to doing so in general chat as he logged off.

Player came back today and immediately went to at least 1 players base and stole items and threw them on the ground outside the base to grief again. 

Player approached and he was "proud" of his actions and said in global chat that he had griefed 5 bases. As he is unrepentant and seems determined to just cause issues a permanent ban has been implemented.

See BM logs for his admissions.

Offender: sexonlegs69420 (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 11:20pm AEST
Length: Perm
Reason: Ignoring admin, stealing, posting inappropriate sign
More Info (Optional): Player logged in and was witnessed stealing from a player base. Was warned about this and had the rules explained to him. Player was then witnessed taking a car from an unsecured base. Player AGAIN warned. Player then was constantly just generally being a pest and posted an inappropriate image on an outside sign (3rd warning given within an hour), then eventually again re-entered a players base after being specifically told not to.  For ignoring admin directions and generally pushing the boundaries a 6 day ban has been implemented.

EDIT: Player came back on under a 2nd account via a Proxy and stole the same car from the same base... this has changed from a 6-day ban to a permanent ban on both this account and gulnaz ramazan (Battlemetrics) (Steam)

Offender: chimsammyNZ (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 12:20am AEST 4/4/21
Length: Permanent
Reason: Racism
More Info: New player - logged in and witnessed trying to get into a base. Posted message stating no stealing and player called out for the admin to appear. I did so and the player immediately started blasting through voice a recording with the "n" word being said repeatedly at high volume. Ban implemented instantly.

Hey GenProx - I have unbanned you knowing that you didnt mean that in a racist way as I was present when it was said...

Just bear in mind that that word is not allowed!

Cheers

Time: 4:30pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Abusing an admin

More Info:

Player had been approached by me regarding his base being very large and causing lag in the area. Had requested that the base be brought down in size and upgraded if possible as it was a very large twig structure. Player is from Argentina and was having language difficulties understanding / comprehending what was asked and logged out.

Player was playing with another player who he was teamed with. This player proceeded to remove the base as he understood the issues with it, and was going to discuss with this player.

Player then logged back in today and proceeded to abuse myself for his base being gone. Repeated attempts were made to get him to speak to his team-mate about it (in Spanish as well via Google Translate by another admin) as he was also on - but he proceeded to continue to throw abusive comments to myself instead.

We let this go as long as possible as there was an initial issue with understanding the problem initially discussed - but after 10 mins of this continuing despite attempts to resolve the issue we had no choice but to implement a ban as abusing admins (or any player for that manner) is not acceptable.

Logs of comments made and attempts to discuss with him are available upon request.

Offender: Xenotures (Steam) (Battlemetrics)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 8:30pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Stealing
More Info:

Player stole 2 cars from 2 different players and was stripping and recycling parts etc. Was caught and sent a warning.

Was then approached by admin and didnt respond at all - was kicked for not responding and came back in and sent to a place where the server rules were published (where he appeared to read them).

Then went and was skulking around a DCd player - waited until no one appeared to be around and then looted the body.

2 stealing infractions within 30mins - so banned permanently.

Logs of the body looted after the car thefts.

Note: Player was caught with one of the stolen cars and parts from the first car stolen (then crashed) - no doubt exists.

Offender: Horsing_People (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 10:30pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Stealing

More Info:

1) Player was observed with another player (Kuma Kuma) hanging around a base after other player had been told to keep away by an admin (due to being seen trying to enter through exploit (lack of TC coverage)). Told to not go near other peoples bases.

2) Player was warned for entering a players structure and looking through all unsecured boxes.

3) Player was found to have participated in stealing items from player bases along with Kuma Kuma - items were found in their joint base.

Offender: Kuma Kuma (Battlemetrics) (Steam)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 10:30pm AEST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Stealing from multiple bases
More Info:

1) Player was observed trying to get into another players compound by building a staircase but had died. Player returned and player who owned the base asked for assistance as someone was trying to get into their base. Player was warned for doing so.

2) Player was observed then returning to the base with another player (Horsing_People) - was told to stay away by admin.

3) Player was found today to have stolen from multiple bases on this same day - ban implemented.

Offender: FelixD (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198019333931) (https://www.battlemetrics.com/rcon/players/169870004)
Server: AU Pure
Time: 4:25pm AEST (Occurred around 3:30pm)
Length: Permanent
Reason: Stealing & having no remorse about doing so

More Info: Player stole a horse from another player (fully kitted) - horse was near the player and the player called out that it was his horse.

Found the horse in a garage with FelixD sitting on it. When approached to discuss this he kept running inside his base (and outside when I went inside) and didn't respond until I had TP'd him back to me a number of times. He then started team chat and admitted to taking the horse and stealing from others (including a whole base). Showed no remorse whatsoever so ban implemented.

Note: Player has additionally appeared to have taken over another players base (shown below):

Note: Full logs from conversation below (with player chatter blacked out).

Offender: Harrok (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198450511291) (https://www.battlemetrics.com/rcon/players/953569600)

Server: AU Pure 

Time: 8:45am AEST

Length: Permanent 

Reason: Player had received 2 warnings for stealing / going through other peoples bases and boxes (2 days running) and 1 warning for blocking a river. I was looking at BM this morning and posted something to another player to answer a question and the player started hurling abuse at admin in chat in Spanish. Google Translate was used to translate, with the translation then confirmed by a player online who speaks Spanish.

Abusing admins or players is not acceptable, and given that this started with no provocation (nothing was said to him at all) and he has had previous warnings for breaking server rules, a permanent ban was implemented.

Offender: Robbievin  Steam  BattleMetrics
Server: AU Pure
Time: 6:45pm AEST
Length: 1 day
Reason: Getting abusive in chat
More Info:

Robbievin had his car disappear over night and was getting upset about that (was left in the open) and that some items were reported missing from inside his base (not secured at top - investigated and nothing appeared in the logs).

Myself and other players were trying to explain the issue with the decay and he got increasingly frustrated and started typing in caps (shouting) at me. Robbievin has a habit of getting frustrated and angry and has been warned about this behavior on numerous occasions. When asked to chill or be muted he told me to screw off. At this point I muted him then applied a 1 day ban for this unacceptable behavior.
